Do I need a visa for Indonesia from Seychelles?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Seychellois nationals need a visa for Indonesia, but it is easily obtained online through the official e-Visa, with a visa on arrival at the main entry points.
Travellers leaving Victoria, on Mahé, on a Seychellois passport to reach Bali, Sumatra or Java need a tourist visa. Indonesia has digitised the process: the application is filed on the Directorate General of Immigration's e-Visa portal, with no consular visit required. A visa on arrival is still possible at major airports, but an e-Visa arranged in advance is the smoothest option for this long journey between the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Seychellois citizens are not among the fully visa-exempt nationalities and must hold a visa for a tourist stay in Indonesia. The standard format is the electronic e-Visa, requested online. At major entry points such as Denpasar (Bali) or Jakarta-Soekarno-Hatta a visa on arrival may also be issued, but the e-Visa requested before departure avoids queues and uncertainty.
How and where to apply
From the Seychelles, everything is handled online at evisa.imigrasi.go.id: create an account, complete the form, upload your documents and pay by card. The electronic visa then arrives by email, with no trip to an Indonesian embassy. Travellers who choose the visa on arrival pay for it at the airport counter, but must then meet every condition on the spot.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Seychellois passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, a recent passport photo, a scan of the bio page and an online payment method. A return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation may be requested. The exact fee and validity period are not confirmed here — check the official portal for the current rate.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa processing time is not guaranteed in our source; as flights from Mahé usually involve a connection, file your request several days before departure. Make sure the name and passport number you enter match the document exactly, as any mismatch can block boarding. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the e-Visa throughout your stay.
Common mistakes
Do not automatically rely on visa on arrival: it is offered only at certain airports and the rules change. Avoid third-party sites that overcharge for the service; only evisa.imigrasi.go.id is the official source. Finally, a Seychellois passport valid for less than six months remains a classic ground for refusal.
